@ElJefer I'm referring to entities that have been proven to mismanage finances. By crooks, those lobbying for social security money, and those who call themselves free market believers in and out of govt. involved with this issue, they're crooks who want my money. I think you were taking my use of crook as a flat definition that i believe all corporations are crooks, i don't. They can be, and your dismissive definition helps them to avoid accountability.

@cerebus2099 How are corporations crooks? Corporations represent a collection of individuals and capital. A group can't be a crook. Are you referring to the CEO or who in specific is a crook?

I would simply like my SS taxes back too, but giving them to a corporation is simply out of the question. All that does is switch one crook to another, but now with lobbying power and more ingenious manipulation...sod that. A low guarantee is better than no guarantee at all.

The 3% number is pre-inflation, as is the equity return. It's from one of the many source documents we went through - I'll need to post sources at some point... With real returns, yes, your niece will get negative returns.

The coin meter on this series has run out, as well as the public's attention window for it... And there are more pressing fiscal/monetary issues to fight. Keep an eye out for our big piece on the credit crisis!
